The original Space Pen

Fisher Space Pen: Chrome Bullet with Space Shuttle

The first “official” space item I had to have when I was interning at Johnson Space Center was a space pen. I bought the one above in 1999, and still use it on occasion, since it’s so darn compact. (I think I need a new cartridge though.) It does indeed write at any angle, underwater, etc etc etc. I picked out a few other neat ones I saw from the website, for your perusal and possible Christmas shopping inspiration:

Fisher Space Pen: Rainbow Titanium Nitride Bullet Space Pen

It’s rainbow and awfully cool!

Fisher Space Pen: Black Grid Design Shuttle Space Pen

Neat grid pattern/texture on this one.

Fisher Space Pen: Astronaut Space Pen with Commemorative Moon Landing Engraving

Unfortunately, there’s no way to really tell what the commemorative moon landing engraving looks like. But it’s probably cool.

Moon Dust Pen

Moon Dust Pens

Sadly the Moon Dust Pen, Commemorative Collector’s Edition does not contain actual moon dust. It contains JSC-1A Lunar Soil Simulant, which is true fake moon dust, which while not quite as cool as true real moon dust, is still pretty cool.
